Antigonish - Nova Scotia

If you are heading on Highway 104 towards Cape Breton through Truro from Halifax or Moncton or the Prince Edward Island ferry then Antigonish makes a pleasant stop. Pronounced 'An-A-Gun-Ish', this is a quiet town with a 125 year old University, St. Francis Xavier that attracts students from across Canada.

The annual Scottish Highland games held in mid-July are well known and there are often events behind held by or at the University.
